Green Spring boasts fascinating natural and cultural history!
Did you know...
... our unique geology once supported a rare magnolia bog plant community?
... Green Spring at times produced tobacco, tree fruit, livestock and distilled spirits?
... our historic house witnessed the Civil War and eras of both care and neglect before its restoration in the mid-20th century?
... you can enjoy tea in the same 1784 historic home that hosted gatherings of personalities from notable to humble?
... Beatrix Farrand designed our historic house garden while she worked on her Dumbarton Oaks masterpiece?
... the historic Green Spring landscape has earned a permanent home in the Historic American Landscapes Survey (HALS) at the Library of Congress?
... our enjoyment of Green Spring today is thanks to the generosity of the Straight family?
In collaboration with Green Spring Staff, the FROGS Historic House Committee is busy building a new Historic Green Spring resource for our website. Watch for updates.
